We skied in the Summit Knob area on Jan 04 and completed road patrols with better visibility today on Jan 05. Only small surface results observed from most recent storm. A few small loose dry avalanches and one small slab avalanche from a steep lee N facing feature. Ski quality has improved with the recent snow, however in steeper terrain the old hard windslabs can still be felt under the low density snow. A big shift in the weather is forecast and a return to classic warm and windy southern Alberta days.
